Zhao Liangdong was shocked when he saw the rebels killed, he was cautious enough, but he didn't expect to follow the path of the Ming army.

He originally thought that Li Laiheng was careless and underestimated the enemy, thought that the Ming army was arrogant, and did not take him seriously, but he didn't expect that the Ming army deliberately sold him a flaw, and there were ambushes after the ambush.

Although he is cautious, after all, he is a rising generation, and there is still a certain gap compared with the Ming generals who have fought for decades.

In fact, over the years, the Jin army has been fighting almost every year, attacking Sichuan and Shu, fighting Shanxi, participating in the Central Plains War, resisting the southern invasion of Jungar, destroying Yarkand, and fighting against the Rakshasa country, it can be said that he has also accumulated rich experience, and the generals have also been tempered to a certain extent, only blame Zhao Liangdong for being a little worse than Li Laiheng and Wang Xu, the old fritters of the Ming army.

If Wu Sangui and Meng Qiaofang, the old fritters of the Jin Army, came over, maybe it would be a different scene.

Now that the 9,000 Jin Army has been divided into two by the Ming Army, Sheng Jiading's 5,000 people have been completely isolated from Zhao Liangdong's 4,000 people.

Wang Yongqiang led nearly 4,000 horses, and suddenly attacked from behind, led by hundreds of cavalry, quickly crashed into the rear of the Jin army, and nearly 4,000 Jin troops were immediately caught in the attack from both sides.

Wang Guangtai saw that Wang Yongqiang cut down several Jin soldiers in a row, and the Jin army began to be chaotic, he hacked one person to death with one sword, and laughed: "Kill Ben!" ”

Zhao Liangdong knew that he was planning and couldn't control the five thousand gold troops in front of him, so as soon as he pulled out the reins of his horse, he rushed to the west. He knew very well in his heart that if he didn't leave, he would be surrounded by the Ming army and the rebels, and if he retreated now, he might be able to escape a catastrophe.

I have to say that the Jin army and the Ming army have changed a lot over the years, if the previous army found that it was ambushed, it would have been chaotic a long time ago, but although the Jin army was panicked, the establishment was still there.

This is mainly due to the fact that the Jin State, like the Ming Dynasty, also made great efforts to train low-level officers and did martial arts, and it was a large number of low-level officers who stabilized their soldiers that the Jin army was defeated but not chaotic.

At this time, the Jin army panicked, but under the command of the officer, they followed the handsome banner to the west to break through.

Wang Yongqiang soon discovered the intention of the Jin army, and galloped on horseback to block the way out of the Jin army, and the rebels of the brigade also divided a thousand people and copied to the west.

Hundreds of cavalry crashed into the Jin army, slashing with their swords, and the Jin army rolled on the ground screaming, like falling into hell in an instant.

Seeing that he was cornered, Zhao Liangdong's eyes were red, and he brandished his war knife and roared, "Rush out and kill a bloody road!" ”

He raised his sword and took the lead, followed by the guards behind him with the handsome flag, and the officers of the Jin Army with the flag behind him and the Jin soldiers of the brigade also followed him, roaring and charging towards the intercepting rebels.

At this moment, behind Wang Yongqiang, there was a sudden shout, hundreds of Jin troops suddenly killed, and the Jin cavalry, which was entangled with the Ming army's sentry cavalry in the distance, also rushed to support.

Zhao Liangdong was overjoyed when he saw this, it was a thousand people he sent to Suide, but he didn't expect to be killed at this time.

Hundreds of Jin troops placed a row of guns behind the rebels, killing nearly 100 rebels and creating a gap.

Zhao Liangdong didn't dare to hesitate, and rushed out with his horses, and nearly a thousand people and horses poured out behind him, but the gap was quickly closed by the Ming army.

Zhao Liangdong rode on his horse and glanced back at the more than 2,000 Jin troops that were surrounded, he didn't dare to stay, and fled west with less than 2,000 defeated soldiers.

Wang Yongqiang chased after him with more than 300 horsemen, and the Jin army got into the ravine, climbed the high ground, and got rid of the pursuit.

The remaining more than 2,000 Jin troops were besieged by 6,000 men and horses, and the first member of the Jin army was beaten into a sieve with a fire gun, screamed, and fell from the horse, and the Jin army around him was also shot by the Ming army.

The battle lasted another quarter of an hour, and only a thousand gold troops remained, and they surrendered in frustration.

On the banks of the Yellow River, there were corpses of those killed in battle, and the Jin soldiers were under the custody of the Ming army, lined up in a queue, discarding weapons and banners, and all of them were dejected.

Wang Guangtai stepped on a flag of the Jin military camp with the words "Yanchuan Battalion" written on it, and said to Wang Yongqiang: "General Wang is here to clean up the battlefield, and I will lead my troops to support the marshal." ”

After speaking, Wang Guangtai turned over his horse and led the two thousand Ming troops to the north.

After walking for about ten miles, they saw a dirt mountain, hunting with banners, and the sound of killing and gunfire came from all over the sky, and the whole mountain and the foot of the mountain were filled with gunsmoke.

Wang Guangtai galloped to the foot of Tushan, only to see nearly 8,000 Ming troops, surrounding Tushan to the point of impassability, probably more than thousands of remnants of the Jin Army, trapped on the top of the mountain, fighting to the death without surrendering, the Ming army troops attacking the mountain, to drive down.

On the top of the mountain, Sheng Jiading was roaring and commanding the Jin soldiers to release their guns and shoot the climbing Ming troops, and a personal guard saw thousands of Ming troops coming from the south, and was immediately shocked, "Look, general!" ”

Sheng Jiading turned his head and glanced at Wang Guangtai, leading more than 2,000 Ming troops to join the siege. His face suddenly turned cold, knowing that Zhao Liangdong would definitely not be able to come to save him.

"Kill! Kill Ben and kill this group of straight thieves! The desperate Sheng Jiading roared.

The Ming army, which had reached the halfway point of the mountain, retreated from the hillside like a tide.

At this time, it was getting late, and the Ming army no longer attacked, but built fortifications under the mountain, built a camp, and besieged the mountain.

The Jin army on the top of the mountain was a miserable scene, the soldiers held their weapons, leaned together, and were silent, only the crackling sound of the burning pyre.

In the Ming military camp under the mountain, Wang Guangtai and others came to Li Laiheng's big tent, which was illuminated by the torch.

On Li Laiheng's handsome case, there is a simple sand table, which shows the situation in the vicinity.

"Dashuai, what's going on at the top of the mountain?" After Wang Guangtai came in, he asked.

Li Laiheng beckoned, asked him to look at the sand table together, and then said: "More than 2,000 people were annihilated by the 5,000 gold army, and more than 3,000 people were left, and they fled to the top of this mountain to be trapped. During the day, Ben Shuai had already attacked twice, but the Jin army was very stubborn and did not defeat it. ”

In this battle, the Ming army must be decided quickly, and what they are afraid of is that the Jin army will form a confrontation and delay time. After all, the gap between the equipment of the two armies is not huge, and the armies have also been tempered by years of war, and if one side adopts a defensive position, I am afraid that it will have to fight for a long time.

The Jin army still had two people coming over, and they consumed energy, but the Ming army couldn't afford it.

Wang Guangtai was a little worried in his heart, "Dashuai, the Jin army in Hetao and Ningxia will be killed in a short time, we have to deal with the Jin army on the mountain quickly." Since the Jin army is trapped and in a desperate situation, why not surrender and give it a try! ”

"This one has already been tried." Li Laiheng said: "However, the golden general Sheng Jiading did not mean to surrender, and drove the messenger of the commander down the mountain, and threatened to let the commander only attack. ”

The Jin court was good to Sheng Jiading, his daughter was also married to the third son of Han Chaoxuan, the eldest son was a guard for Haoge, and the second son studied martial arts in Chang'an, he was loyal to the Jin State and would not surrender to the Ming Dynasty.

Wang Guangtai frowned, but Li Laiheng pointed to the sand table and said: "There is no need to rush this matter, the Jin army retreated here in a hurry, and chose this soil mountain, although it is not easy to attack, but in fact, it is not conducive to long-term defense, the commander cut off his water source, and then set up artillery bombardment, the Jin army can not last a few days." ”

The next day, the artillery of the Ming army was pulled in and lined up at the foot of the mountain, and the smoke of gunpowder rose up, and the top of the mountain was splashed with mud.

More than 3,000 remnants of the Jin Kingdom hid in the tunnel with weapons, not daring to come out, and the Ming army did not attack the mountain.

That night, at the fourth watch, nearly 100 Jin soldiers secretly went down the mountain, touched the edge of the Yellow River on the east side of Tushan Mountain, plunged into the river, drank a few sips, and then filled the kettle on their backs, and filled some with pots and helmets, and then walked back, but at this moment, a "bang bang" sound sounded around, and most of the nearly 100 Jin troops fell in the flames of the fire gun.

These Jin soldiers were killed in a moment, and hundreds of Ming soldiers came out of the darkness, using fire guns or spears with spurs and thorns, and moved the corpses of Jin soldiers.

The Jin army on the mountain was cut off from water, and was bombarded by artillery, and after being trapped for three days, Sheng Jiading led the remnants of the army to break through the siege overnight, but the Ming army had already taken precautions, and the Jin army was driven back to the top of the mountain.

In the following days, the Jin army tried to break out several times, but except for a few who rushed out in the night, most of them were driven back to the top of the mountain, and the Jin army's attempt to get water also failed, leaving a place of corpses on the edge of the Yellow River.

Seven days later, the Jin army, which had been cut off from water, was completely desperate, and the Ming army took advantage of the situation to attack the mountain, and the Jin general Sheng Jiading killed himself, and the remaining Jin army surrendered one after another, ending the battle that lasted for many days.

After Zhao Liangdong escaped from the siege, he rushed back to Yan'an, and there were less than 2,000 people left in the 10,000 Jin army. Soon after, the Jin army fled back, bringing the news that Sheng Jiading had committed suicide in defeat and that the 5,000 Jin army had been wiped out.

Dong Zongsheng, the governor of Suiyan, was shocked and hurriedly ordered the defenders to hold Yan'an City.

By this time, the Jin army's plan to quickly recapture the Wubao ferry had failed, and the 10,000 Jin army in Yan'an had been defeated, and the Jin army, which was moving south from Hetao and eastward from Ningxia, would not dare to rashly attack Suide and Yulin, so as not to suffer the same setback as the Jin army in Yan'an.

The Ming army had already gained a firm foothold in northern Shaanxi, and the governor of Suiyan not only did not have the strength to send troops again, but even self-protection was a problem. Dong Zongsheng could only immediately report this unfortunate news to Chang'an.
